Of the top of my head servers are not region split and you can play with anyone regardless of which server youre on, it will move you between them if you make a group together, i wouldnt of thought it would go f2p for a few years but with swtor and the news of share fall pethaps this is incorrect, hard to say sorry :-\ i havent been playing a lot recently due to other commitments but if anyone fancies a bit of grouping or hitting a dungeon give me a shout on steam

I have a question. Played the beta and the free weekend, and I absolutely love the game. It really is a lot of fun to me. However, I'm worried about spending sixty bucks on it only for it to tumble down into a f2p model like Star Wars did to me.

Essentially I'm asking is that will the servers be on long enough for me to get value for money, and do you predict it will be stable like Rift is?

I'm not a F2P-phobiac like some people. I absolutely believe both SWTOR and TSW should have launched on a F2P model as I believe subscriptions are an archaic model for MMO's. That said, I did get the lifetime sub for TSW as I also believe this would only appreciate in value when the game does eventually go F2P.

Regarding Rift - love the game but guess why I'm not currently playing it?

Forgive my intrusion, but I'm wondering, a friend of mine is being quite insistent in having me join his adventures in TSW, and soon U.S. Amazon is expected to have the game at a juicy discount, but being the US Store I expect it to be a US key, and my friend is European.

Are TSW's servers separated by region? I've been googling up about it and though it does look like everyone plays on the same servers, I couldn't find a definite "yes" or "no" answer.

Thanks.

There are regional servers defined as such but mostly it's a cosmetic title to get players in the same geographical area to play together. Realistically, it doesn't matter as the only thing you can't do cross-server is the Fusang PVP.

There's nothing that requires you to join a cabal. Cabals (guilds in other games) are nice in that they allow you to enjoy the social aspects of MMO's. There is cabal-wide chat and most cabals have voice-communications servers allowing you to chat about anything. It's also far easier to find groups for anything if you are in a cabal than not.

I got it in the sale too. I like it, but the combat is really as bad as people say. Getting stuck a lot on investigation missions, but in a way it's kind of nice to allow myself to get stuck in a game; that's something that almost never happens these days.
